berkeley 4.1 seems to automatically renice processes to 4
after they have run for a certain length of time (~ 12 minutes).
i thought it was the line in setpri() commented 'nice 4' but
that doesn't seem to have anything to do with cpu time usage.
it would nice if it was a constant somewhere but it 
doesn't seem to be that either. any help would be greatly appreciated.
